Hi Art and all, I was asking to myself: and what if an university open its doors for us? That would be free, of course. The counterpart would be that we (as OSG users) may allow students to enter the conference, and maybe we should prepare something about OSG for them. What about that idea?
(If you ask: yes, I'm thinking about one university in particular).
